Objective To explore the relationship between the expression levels of excision repair cross complementation group 1(ERCC1), breast cancer susceptibility gene 1(BRCA1), thymidylate synthase (TS) mRNA and clinicopathological features, prognosis in advanced colorectal cancer, and the correlation between the expression levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1. Methods The expression levels of ERCC1, BRCA1 and TS mRNA of postoperative paraffin embedded tissue were tested by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 49 advanced colorectal cancer cases. The results were analyzed by χ2 test of the correlation between the expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics. Patients were followed up by clinic or telephone. The prognosis was analyzed by small sample Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank time series analysis, and P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA in patients with colorectal carcinoma had no obvious correlation with the clinical and pathological characteristics such as gender, age, tumor location, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, CEA and differentiation degree (P>0.05). The expression level of BRCA1 mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.030) and differentiation degree (P=0.002). The expression level of TS mRNA had no significant correlation with the above clinical and pathological features (P>0.05) except distant metastasis (P=0.003). The expression level of ERCC1 and BRCA1 mRNA obviously correlated (P=0.002). The 1 year overall survival rate was 95.92%(47/49);the 2 year overall survival rate was 83.67%(41/49);and the 3 year overall survival rate was 73.47%(36/49). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (47.8, 41.0 months) was higher than that in ERCC1 mRNA low expression group (27.3, 20.0 months) respectively (P=0.001, P=0.001). Overall survival and progression-free survival time in BRCA1 mRNA low expression group (43.7, 42.7 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (29.3, 25.1 months) respectively (P=0.009, 0.006). Overall survival time in TS mRNA low expression group (39.8 months) was higher than that in BRCA1 mRNA high expression group (25.2 months). Conclusions The expression level of ERCC1 mRNA is not correlated with its clinical and pathological characteristics, but with its biological characteristics. BRCA1 and TS levels are correlated with invasion and metastasis. Low levels of ERCC1 and BRCA1 expression have a better prognostic effect on platinum based first-line chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer, and they are correlated. Low level of TS also has longer disease-free survival. Three joint detection could be used as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the association between inflammatory cytokines and islet β-cell function in chronic persistent asthma patients. Methods 112 adults with persistent asthma and 60 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. According to the severity of disease, all subjects were divided into persistent-mild group and persistent-moderate group. Plasma tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin6(IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were determined. Oral glucose tolerance and insulin releasing test were performed. The ratio of the area under the curve of insulin to area under the curve of glucose ( AUC1/AUCG ), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance ( HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index( ISI),homeostasis model assessment for β-cell function (HBCI) and early insulin secretion index(△I30/△G30)were calculated. The values of forced expiratory volume in l second ( FEV1 ), forced vital capacity(FVC)and FEV1/FVC were recorded. Results In patient groups, the values for plasma TNF-α, IL-6, CRP,AUC1, AUC1/AUCG, HOMA-IR, HBCI significantly increased compared with those in control group, while ISI declined ( t =2. 02～13.62, P ＜0. 05). Multiple step regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR was positively correlated with CRP, LDL-C, BMI, AUC1, TNF-α( P ＜0. 01 orP ＜0. 05), but negatively correlated with FEV1 ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion The results indicated that inflammatory cytokines ( TNF-α,IL-6,CRP) might result in insulin resistance in asthma patients who had hyperinsulinism at the same time.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy on anal function after intersphincteric resection (ISR) with low rectal cancer. Methods:A total of 103 patients were classified into the chemoradiotherapy (CRT) group and control group according to whether they received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Anal function was assessed using vectorial manometry, Saito function questionnaires, and Wexner incontinence scores. Results:The resting vector volume and squeezing vector volume of the CRT group were significantly lower than those of the control group prior to the operation. Both groups showed decreasing manometric re-sults after ISR. However, all indices of the CRT group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 months after operation, the Saito questionnaire results reveal poor function for the CRT group compared with the control group, except for dyschesia. After 24 months, the stool frequency, ability to distinguish between feces and flatus, fragmentation, and alimentary re-striction remained poor for the CRT group (P<0.05). Although both groups showed decreasing Wexner scores with time, the score of the CRT group remained significantly higher than that of the control up to 24 months after operation. Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy significantly affects the anal sphincter function for intersphincteric resection with low rectal cancer. This effect continues for at least 2 years after operation.

Objective To explore the difference of the expression level of FK506 Binding Protein 51 (FKBP51) in colorectal adenocarcinoma and normal colorectal tissues,and the correlation between FKBP51 expression level and clinicopathological characteristics,and to clarify whether FKBP51 is involved in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer.Methods By immunohistochemical staining [streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) method] and Western blotting methods tested 31 cases of colorectal cancer tumor tissues and normal colorectal tissues far from tumor 5 cm,and explored the expression level difference of FKBP51.Combined with clinical data of patients,results were analyzed by statistical method x2 test of four case table data.Results The high expression rate of FKBP51 in tumor tissues was 74.19％ (23/31 cases),while the high expression rate of FKBP51 in normal tissue was 9.68％ (3/31 cases).The difference was significant.The expression level of FKBP51 in patients with colorectal carcinoma had no obvious correlation with gender (P =0.771),age (P =0.474),tumor location (P =0.213),degree of differentiation (P =0.318),lymph node metastasis (P =0.124),distant metastasis (P =0.318) and clinical stage (P =0.171);and the tumor size (P =0.049),depth of invasion related (P =0.031),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions The expression of FKBP51 in colorectal cancer was strong,while weak expression in normal colorectal tissues.With the increase of tumor infiltration and deepening,the expression of FKBP51 became stronger,which indicated that FKBP51 participated in the genesis and development of colorectal cancer,and it might become a new target for individual therapy of colorectal cancer.
